"HOw old are you, Tad?" suddenly
shrieked Miss Smith, with such unex-

Circuit Court.

Circuit Court convened on Satur-
day, the 9Th inst, with Judges
Bradbury, Clarke and Cherrington
on the bench.
The case of VIM. Dennison Lam.
bert & II rdon, error the Court OF
Common Pleas of Hooking county,
was taken up on Saturday and
occupied the time of the Court until
Tuesday afternoon.
A distinguished array of lawyers
was engaged including Hon. H. s.
Neal of Ironton, Judge Welch OF
Athens Hon. Geo. X. Nash and
Judge Joseph Olds of Columbus,
and Col. Weldy, our bar.
This is the case of the Ogden
Furnace Company, which Homer
l.. Wright was assignee, and in
wolves the validity eff Lambert &
Gordon's mechanics lien and other
important questions, including the
validity of certain bonds.
On the conclusion of the argu-
ments the Court ordered that the
cause be remanded to the Court of
Common Pleas for new trial. The
Court was then adjourned.

The Labor Party.

We have been informed that the
Labor Party Of Hooking County
has put u ticket in nomination
We are not surprised at their ac-
tion, but that they should attempt
to keep the matter secret we
think foolish and ill.advised.
Political parties bidding for pop.
ular support should be willing to
place their principles and men in
open competition in the political
field. Any party who fails to dc
this may expect to be looked upon
with suspicion by all good citizens
and receive but little honest sup.
port.
OF all the many political organi.
cations that have from time tc
time rose and fell on the waves Of
the political ocean, the labor party
is one of the most unnecessary and
which, by reason of its extreme
views, is the least able to deal with
the questions affecting labor anc
capital. Will some one of the Ia
bor party give us in plain language
what they hope to affect by leg
islation to ameliorate the condi
tion Of the poor, and what style o.
statute is expected to increase the
wealth Of the laboring class.

Odd Fellowship at Gore.

Gore, o., Oct. 81.
Thursday was q grand day for
the Odd Fellows of Gore, and
Hamlin Lodge was out in force.
The afternoon was given to a
grand parade and addresses in
memory of P. g. Sire Wildly and
and his comp' $. Addresses were
made by Rev. j. w. Seabrood, of
Straitsville, and Rep. A. II. Wilson
of Logan, both of whom were list
ened to with marked attention and
interest. The day was flushed by
a social supper at their hall at
which about one hundred and fifty
persons were entertained at a
table well loaded with all th,a del
lcacies Of the season, furnished by
the ladies Of the Lodge. Hamlin
Lodge is booming, having had 10
limitations since last spring.
We are of opinion that much of
the prosperity Of this young Lodge
is dus to the interest taken In the
order by the good ladies Of Gore,

norant and besotted negroes, fresh from
slavery, were united with horde Ot
scalawag adventurers from the North
and kept in power with Federal bayonets.
In these so-called State Governments the
property-owners and taxpayers had no
voice. Under this system OF government
the people oil the Southern States were
robbed OF $lG2,U00,0OO. This WAS the
political policy OF the Republican party.
It was sustained and defended by the
party, and Tor the crimes committed the
party was Justly responsible. Itwas this
system of robbery tuat made the South
solid against the Republican party and
will keep it solid so long as the memory

Cheeky Cheek.

The prohibitionists desire to ex-
ercise themselves in soundly abu.
sing everybody who repudiates
either their doctrines or methods,
and they delight to call all such
drunkard makers and immoral, but
when they get taste of their own
medicine, they at once begin to
blubber and beg, or call a "law and
order" meeting for proper denunci-
alton. Their whining would awake
pity in the heel of a mule. "Please
Mr.. Democrat, Mr.. Republican,
don't say anything about us. If you
do you will hurt our feeling. Our
private lives are entirely above and
beyond reproach." Bah! It will
be a chilly day when you discover
prohib. with "snowy wings" on
his shoulders.

ronenen's foasm ,x--..


In his laborad article In "Tas Fran"
among his reasons why the ReprlIi a
party should be restored to power, the
first treated OF Is, as Q terms It, the
question OF "a free ballot an a fair
count" aud In the discussion of which he
further says. aThe Democratic party Is
In power to-day only because, by the
most shameful oiienses, 1t has ovcrthrown
this right in many places and States OF
the South" The above Is pure assertion
not born out by the facts OF history.
Previous to 1861 the states designated
were solidly against the Republican
party, and after the war, there being
nothing to change their political status,
would have been the Same, had it not
been for two causes, namely, the cnfran-
chisement Of the slaves and the state OF
Military despotisn established and main
tanned by the Republican party until
after the Inauguration OF Hayes in 1877.
So strong was the opposition TO Re-
publcanism in these states that not
withstandng the terror OF military
authority and negro enfranchsement,
they repudiated the party OF Foraker In
1876, making it necessary for the Re-
publicans to disfranchise three whole
states, to complete the larceny Of the
presidency, and the same was done by
means that can be fully explained by II
certain Ohio Republican Statesman who
is aspiring to be the next candidate OF
party for the Presidency, and has the
full endorsement OF his party in Ohio for
that office, they thus becoming endorsers
OF his fraud, denominated by Foraker
"Moral treason"
Relieved OF the bayonets OF the govern
ment by Hayes, and that other army Of
Republican "Carpet baggers" the States
at once returned to their normal con-
dition and have been Democratic ever
since, and are steadily winning the negro
vote to their party.
No sane man would have expected any
other result, and to day the elections are
much more quiet, much more orderly
and exhibit much less fraud and coercion
than characterized them under the Re-
publican Military Despotism existing in
those States dnring the reconstruction
period. No! Mr.. Foraker, the Demo
cratic party is in power to-day, because
the States are having free ballot and
fair count.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1887-10-22

1T looks as If Mayor Steinman
was trying to capture the Republi-
can vote, and induce as many Demo-
Gratis as he can to scratch in his
favor. 1t also looks as if an effort
Is being made to unite the Prohi-
bition and Republican vote on Re-
preventative against the Demo-
Gratis. The Democrats of Hooking
County, however, will pursue the
even tenor Of their way, and vote
the Democratic ticket from Cover
nor to Coroner straight through,
without a scratch. The men on the
Democratic ticket for the different
Offices are all capable and COM
petent, and are the peers Of any
body on either of the other tickets
in the field, and will all be elected
by handsome majorities. The Re-
puhlicans and Prohi5itionists may
attempt to present some plausible
reasons why they should have the
support Of the people, but the
people have had enough of Republi-
canism in this country, and see no.
thing In Prohibition as a party, that
insures better government, and
they will support the Democratic
party as the best exponent of free
Government.

WHAT Is the matter with tn.
high protective tariff The reason
assigned by the Republican orators
for protection is that It created u
home market for the products OF
the farm. The monopolies have All
abundance of protection. They
are coming money. They were
never more prosperous. Now, why
don't they create n home marke,
for wheat, corn, mess beef, pork
and almost every other article
which is the product Of the farm :
The crop of wheat is short. II
was short last year The corn crop
is short. It was short last year
The oats crop is short. 1t was
short last year. Now, will the Re.
publicans be kind enough to give
the reason for the low prices OF
every product of the farm?
